Infrattini most likely will make his next start in the $150,000 Mineshaft Handicap on Feb. 23 at Fair Grounds and then skip the $400,000 New Orleans Handicap five weeks later to prepare for the $300,000 Alysheba on the May 3 Kentucky Oaks undercard at Churchill Downs, said trainer Paul McGee.
Infrattini, a 5-year-old gelding owned by the Z Thoroughbreds LLC of Mike Zlaket, has won his last four starts, the most recent being the Jan. 19 Louisiana Handicap over the highly regarded Mark Valeski.
McGee initially had intended to skip the Mineshaft and go in the New Orleans Cap before deciding on this amended course of action for his newest stable star.
Infrattini set the Churchill record for one mile (1:33.31) in November before returning with his three-quarter-length triumph in the Louisiana Cap. A son of Include, he had a maintenance work last weekend at Fair Grounds in his first serious move since then.
The Grade 3 Mineshaft is one of six stakes on the Feb. 23 Louisiana Derby Preview card, which is the next major racing date at Fair Grounds. The program is led by the Grade 2, $400,000 Risen Star Stakes for 3-year-olds.

OUR HEAT has a win and a second in two turf tries here. She has been favored both time but is meeting tougher today. Like her style, sitting back a bit early and then unleashing a strong closing kick. She seems to like the turf and graduated in a straight maiden grass race. The breeding is heavily slanted to turf. BEEZAROO has hit the board in her past five starts at this level. Has outrun her breeding on turf and scored her lone career victory over the Lakeside Turf Course. Rider chose top pick over her, but she's picked up leading ridder for this.
